Before you start your private-label project
What is the minimum quantity for a private-label product?
The minimum order quantity depends on the selected raw material and packaging format. Through our partner network, both smaller test batches for market entry and larger rollout volumes can be realized. We advise you on an economically suitable batch size.
How long does it take from the idea to the finished product?
Depending on formulation complexity and raw material availability, the process from initial sample development to series filling at the respective partner facilities can take a few weeks to a few months. After the first consultation, we provide a specific timeline.
Can you also realize organic-certified private-label products?
Yes. We work with EU organic-certified raw materials (DE-ÖKO-007) and suitable certified partner companies. Operational processing and filling are carried out through these external partners according to the project and coordinated by us.
Do the formulation and brand remain exclusive to me?
Your formulation and brand identity remain yours. We treat all project documents confidentially and can contractually secure exclusivity if required.
How much does the private-label service cost?
Costs depend on the formulation, batch size and packaging. After a brief discussion of your requirements, you receive a transparent, non-binding quotation.
